The Spring Festival of 1986 passed in a bustling manner.

Lao Lu and Lu Changzhong went to pay New Year greetings on behalf of the Lu family.

Lu Changhua, on the other hand, went to the company leader's house for a walk.

Now the etiquette of New Year greetings is to bring gifts.

Lu Changhua gave three gifts, each of which was two bottles of wine and two boxes of snacks.

If you want to pay New Year greetings to your leaders, you have to go early.

On the morning of New Year's Day, Lu Changhua first went to Han Jianhua's house.

Say New Year greetings as soon as you enter the door.

"Director Han, happy New Year, Aunt Han, happy New Year, and Han Ying, happy New Year."

Not a single one is left behind.

Han Jianhua said with a smile: "Happy New Year. Why did you come so early?!"

"Can't you wish your boss a happy New Year earlier? I can't delay your New Year's greetings, right?!"

"You kid, you're so glib."

Han Ying took out candy to entertain him.

"You're welcome, I have to go to other leaders' homes to pay them New Year greetings."

"You kid!"

As soon as Lu Changhua left, Han Ying chased him out.

"Are you at home these days? I'll go find you in two days."

"Ah I……"

Just as he was about to say that he was going to the city, Han Ying had already turned around and entered the house.

He got on his motorcycle and went to Li Zhenguo and Director Zhang's house.

These three people are the best in the three-point field, and they must be here this year.

It was in the afternoon that Lao Lu and Lu Changzhong came back.

Not long after they came back, children from all over the neighborhood came to pay New Year greetings.

The Lu family has already prepared red envelopes.

Two cents per child.

These children are happy, they can watch TV, and they can also get money. It’s so suitable!

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Changzhong returned to the field department. He was going to the Zhao family to pay New Year's greetings.

Lao Lu originally wanted to go to the city to find a shop in his third year of junior high school.

Lu Changhua stopped him.

"Dad, it's still early. Many people haven't come back for the New Year yet, so we're not in a hurry. We'll have to wait until at least the seventh day of the lunar month."

"Yes, many units only start work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

It's not that Lao Lu doesn't understand, but he's too anxious.

Lu Changhua gave Hu Dagui a sufficient holiday and asked him to have a good rest and go to the reservoir after fifteen days.

But how could this kid stay at home? He went to the reservoir on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Maybe it was because there was no one to chat with him at home, so he might as well be at home in the reservoir, where no one was nagging him.

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

Lu Changhua accompanied Lao Lu into the city.

Lao Lu used to go to the city often, but not as frequently as his son.

Now Lu Changhua is more familiar with him.

The two got off the car at the roundabout on Badao Street.

Walk along the street and watch as you go.

Although many units have already accepted leave, many restaurants on the street are not open.

Some doors have red paper posted on them, which says the Spring Festival holiday time. Some doors have nothing on them, and are locked tightly with a chain.

Badao Street is Nongken Street.

The units on this street are directly affiliated to the Bac Ninh Agricultural Reclamation Bureau.

Many of the restaurants and snack shops on the street are run by farmers.

From the roundabout all the way to the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau's compound, I didn't see any suitable pavement.

The two men walked around and asked people about the situation.

It seems that Badao Street is no longer available.

Let's go to Qidao Street.

This is also the case.

After shopping for a long time, the two of us were tired and hungry.

I found a state-owned hotel at the intersection of Qidao Street and Jiaotong Road.

As soon as we entered, several older ladies in white coats and overalls were chatting together.

He was rude to the young and old who came in.

"What do you want to eat?"

As a parent, Lao Lu has to organize things outside.

"I'm free, just have some food."

"Let's eat dumplings."

Lao Lu shouted to the crowded waiters: "Waiter, take your order."

The elder sisters still chatted reluctantly for a few words, and then one of them picked up the menu next to him and walked over slowly.

"What can we eat?"

"Dumplings, two plates."

The two of them sat on chairs to rest their feet. After walking all morning, their legs were numb.

The waitress didn't move, just looked at Lao Lu.

"Two plates of dumplings."

Lao Lu thought he didn't make it clear, so he raised his voice and repeated it.

"Six cents."

The elder sister said impatiently.

"price goes up?"

"Humph, why aren't the prices going up now? They will still go up in two days!"

The eldest sister curled her lips and said.

Lu Changhua took out the money and handed it to her.

"What's going on? We can still run away? Why don't we give you the money before we eat? We'll give it after we finish eating!"

This was the first time that Lao Lu heard about paying for meals first.

In the Northeast, you always pay after you finish eating.

The eldest sister would make a fool of herself with her eyes wide open.

When the uncle at the cashier saw this, he said with a smile: "This is a rule that has just been implemented."

The waitress took the money and left angrily.

The handmade fresh meat dumplings from Northeast State-owned Restaurant have thin skin and large fillings, and the meat is tender and juicy. It is worth the money.

Two large plates of dumplings arrived, filled with fragrance.

Lu Changhua is really hungry.

One plate of dumplings is not enough.

Lao Lu ate a dozen and then pushed the plate in front of him.

"Here you go, I'm full."

Lu Changhua was suddenly startled.

This scene had appeared in his previous life and was still fresh in his memory.
